This is just the same as practise. All the top players have vacationed already and are in pre-season training.

Im sure they are combining this $$$ trip with intense training. Its great for the players and the fans, who would never normally see Federer/Sererna etc live.

Anyway the off season debate has been done ad nausem, so I'll say no more on it.

At least in the GOAT's defense, he doesn't complain much about this. His rivals do.

That is what they are paying him, I'm from argentina, the tickets are really expensive, starting at 100 dollars and up to 400. Most of the money was put by sponsors anyway, cellphone companies supermarkets, etc that give away the tickets to their customers. There was supposed to be only one match here but the cheapest tickets were sold in minutes so they added the second day. Wanted to go but too expensive and impossible to get the cheap tickets.

Not sure why Fed is doing this exos. He just complained to the press that he didn't have any time to practice and little with his family this year due to so many tournaments played. And then he wastes a week on these exos. He looked bored against Belucci. Can't see the value here for him.

Federer just received more money for playing a tennis match than most people make on their lives. I found the value for him.

You bring up a valid point. It would be nice to see a few seats left for the ticket counter.

--Free trip to South America, and a chance to convert more fans (not that he doesn't have enough)
--These exhos are pretty much practice to Fed; he seems to not take them very seriously
--12 million bucks for a glorified vacation. Hard for even multimillionaires to pass up (for their foundations)
